A freshman Tea Partier in Congress is championing a bill that calls for removing funding for committees and party leaders who fail to produce and pass budgets.

Rep. Ann Marie Buerkle, R-N.Y. unveiled the legislation last week and says that it is mainly aimed at the Democratic led Senate, which has not passed an annual budget in two years. But it could raise hackles among Republican and Democratic chairmen who like to stonewall for political advantage.

UNBELIEVABLE OBAMA GAFFES, Mistakes, Lies, and Confusion

In light of the Hardball Knucklehead, Chris Matthews, who loves to talk smack and make Bachmann and Palin look bad...I thought it was about time to pull out the ole' Obama Gaffes and dust it off as we head into campaign season.

Is the Pledge of Allegiance ‘Divisive?’ Ask the Eugene Oregon City Council and Mayor.

How could something that includes the words ‘pledge of allegiance to the flag of the UNITED States’ be considered divisive? Believe it or not, the mayor and city council of Eugene, Oregon just voted on this very issue. (It should also be noted that the city of Eugene, Oregon is a member of ICLEI, part of the UN’s Agenda 21 Program.)

From a blog reader: “Poolside at the Fairmont in Abu Dhabi, where it's a cool 104, but hot enough to melt the butter into that yellow liquid perfect for dipping lobster. A half a click across the water is GHQ, and beyond that the Sheikh Zayed mosque. … And was able to listen to your podcast from yesterday right here.”

Huzzah! The can is kicked down the road, saving Euro-socialism … and our economy … for several months. BTW, your money is in some of those loans. And we will see these type “entitlement riots” here in a few years, as we are forced to implement austerity programs. (Good pictures of Greek cops on fire.) ~Bob. Excerpt: The Greek parliament on Wednesday approved a controversial package of tax hikes and spending cuts, clearing the way for $17 billion in international emergency loans needed to stave off a possible default. The largely party-line vote gives Prime Minister George Papandreou a critical victory in the midst of crisis talks with other European leaders and the International Monetary Fund. The approval comes despite a two-day nationwide strike and continued violent demonstrations. Police and protesters clashed in Athens for a second day Wednesday as the nation’s lawmakers debated the legislation needed to secure the international emergency loans that will help keep the country solvent.

This is outrageous. The Houston National Cemetery has told veterans and volunteers that they can no longer use the words "God," "God bless," or "Jesus" at any and all funerals or in condolence cards. They're "offensive."

Another craven example of the left's war on America. We are not godless.

Are "Jesus" and "G-d" being singled out here? When I called the Houston National Cemetery to inquire, I was told that Arlene Ocasio was off this week (how convenient). I further inquired whether this prohibition includes Allah and was tersely told that "the matter was in litigation" and no comment would be forthcoming (how convenient). I'd like to see them try this with Moe, but I suspect the number of Muslim soldiers in this veterans cemetery is ..... minimal.

Get Congress to care about the next generation and not their next election!

Today in the Senate, all 47 U.S. Republican Senators will join in the introduction of a Constitutional amendment that will require the Federal Government to Balance its Budget. This Constitutional amendment will be voted on at some point during the week of July 18, 2011 in the U.S. Senate. This is a pledge that the Senate Republican Leader Sen. McConnell (R-KY) has made publically on several occasions.

How much has Social Security taken in taxes and other income since it started?A: From 1937 (when taxes were first collected) through 2009 the Social Security program has received $13.8 trillion in income.

A: No. So far there have been 11 years in which the Social Security program did not take enough in FICA taxes to pay the current year's benefits. During these years, Trust Fund bonds in the amount of about $24 billion made up the difference. (See detailed Table.)
